Felting Sample: Before

Here is a little swatch I knitted up to see how the Knit Picks 100% (Peruvian?) wool would felt. I'm thinking of making a two-tone felted bag with these two colors. What do you think? Maybe not too cheery, but I like it.

I knitted this swatch with size 11 needles. The middle section here is to see how the two colors blend. It looks better unfelted, as you'll see in the next picture.

About Me

Theoretical linguist by education, stay-at-home mommy by trade. Nearing - no strike that - moving away from 30 more and more by the minute. If you can make it with food, yarn or cloth, I'm in. I live in a rural area of Southern France, furiously creating for my son, daughters, husband and anyone else who may give me the excuse to test my talents while attempting to limit my impact on the world around me.
